Uefa makes FA wait for Wayne Rooney red card report

The FA has revealed that it might be at least another week before it receives written reasons from Uefa for Wayne Rooney’s three-match ban.

The 26-year-old’s participation in next summer’s European Championship finals hangs in the balance after he was handed the suspension following his straight red card for violent conduct during the qualifier in Montenegro earlier this month.

Uefa, the European governing body, was expected to outline its decision to impose such sanctions on the Manchester United striker by tomorrow after he was sent off for kicking Miodrag Dzudovoic during the 2-2 draw in Podgorica.

However, the FA will have to wait as it weighs up whether it should launch an appeal against Rooney’s ban
